This is awesome news for american cycling and our chances of having an american up on the podium winning it all in 2010. Team RadioShack means we will have three premier teams at the Tour in 2010 (Team Columbia and Team Garmin as well)

Johan Bruyneel is the best team manager in the business so its great that Team RadioShack and Lance will have him. Trek will be supplying them with the bikes.

The team already looks to be loaded with talent as Lance being interviewed today said that Levi Leipheimer, Andreas Kloden, and himself will be on the 2010 team.

He also mentioned the team will also have a developmental team for young riders to groom them for the lead team.

Lance is currently completely kicking butt in this years Tour de France, with two stages left, he's in 3rd place and his teammate Kloden is 4th.

Sorry, but Alberto Contador is kicking butt in this years TDF. Lance is doing his best to hang onto a podium spot. That said, it will be great to have another American cycling team on board.

armstrong can pound sand. He is an “all about me” person and we have enough of those already.

Lance in his early years competed as a triathlete before settling on the bike.

He’s a phenom. You’ve got to wonder how many additional TdFs he could’ve won if he hadn’t retired prematurely? One at least and he probably would’ve been on the podium for another couple. Hope he’s been holding back a little for tomorrow and jumps up and surprises the heck out of everyone, including Shleck when he takes second place from him.

I thought Radio Shack went out of business. I guess just their store in San Francisco did.
